Sarid, not yet identified, was evidently a leading topographical point on the south frontier of Zebulun. The boundary passed westward until it touched the Kishon, near “Tell Kaimon” (Jos 12:22 note), and thence, turned northward, leaving Carmel, which belonged to Asher, on its west. The territory of Zebulun accordingly would not anywhere reach to the Mediterranean, though its eastern side abutted on the sea of Galilee, and gave the tribe those “outgoings” attributed to it in the Blessing of Moses (Deu 33:18). Daberath (Jos 19:12) is probably “Deburieh.”
This site's exposition
The third lot came up
on Joshua 19:10-16
Zebulun is drawn before its elder brother Issachar, the same order Jacob uses at Genesis 49:13-14. Gath-hepher at verse 13 is the home of Jonah son of Amittai, named as such at 2 Kings 14:25. The Bethlehem of verse 15 lies in Galilee, a different town from the Bethlehem of Judah at Micah 5:2, and Nahalal returns at Judges 1:30 as Nahalol, a town Zebulun never cleared.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun, according to their families,.... Who, though younger than Issachar, has his lot before him, agreeably to the order in which his blessing is predicted, both by Jacob and Moses, Gen 49:13; and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid; or "by Sarid", as Masius, who takes this to be the southwest border of Zebulun, being near Carmel; in which he seems to be right.

Although they do not seem at first to have touched on the western shore--a part of Manasseh running north into Asher (Jos 17:10) --they afterwards did, according to the prediction of Moses (De 33:19). The extent from north to south cannot be very exactly traced; the sites of many of the places through which the boundary line is drawn being unknown.
